The form of photographic composition

Lead: When it comes to the method of photographic composition, most articles will introduce the golden section, three-point farad, then triangle composition, diagonal composition and so on. Yes, these are very important. Beginners must master them. However, after shooting to a certain extent, I feel that it is not enough to know these rules. The photos taken are getting into a fixed and rigid mode and I can't go on. Let's break through this obstacle!

I said in an article in which a photographer summed up his photographic experience that a real photographer always looks at the four corners first, and then at the middle. This sentence impressed me deeply.

Later, I watched a lot of good movies, and I often paid attention to the framing on the movie screen when watching movies. After summing up, I found myself beginning to have a new and different understanding of composition.

But I know it in my heart, but I say it in words.

Until one day, I saw a sentence in Go:? Jinjiao silver grass belly? . I suddenly felt suddenly enlightened.

This sentence was originally a layout principle in Go, which probably means (I can't play Go, please correct me if I am wrong) that the strategic importance of different positions in the board is different: the four-corner layout has two natural barriers, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack, so? Jinjiao? ; There is a barrier on the side and behind, but there are three sides to be guarded, so it is called? Silver horn? ; The central hinterland is the worst, it needs to be defended on all sides, and the efficiency is the lowest, so it is called? Grass belly? .

However, when this principle is applied to the composition of photographic pictures, it is also unsatisfactory.

Then in photographic composition, using graphics to express your weight is probably like this:' How?

1, vertical composition

2. Horizontal composition

Every picture, big or small, will have these four gold dots and silver edges. They are important factors to balance the composition. The purpose of our composition is to obtain a visually balanced and varied picture. And these points are the most effective areas to create a balanced composition.
